Moviegoers have given Varisu mixed reviews, and the film's opening day advance sales totalled Rs 11 crore.

A massive amount for the business, the films' total gross national receipts on January 12 are predicted to surpass Rs 50 crore.
Varisu has outperformed Thunivu's box office earnings everywhere but Tamil Nadu. The action movie Thunivu, starring Thala Ajith and Manju Warrier, had a nationwide gross of over Rs 26 crore; Thunivu's total has reportedly reached approximately Rs 28.50 crore, according to trade tracker Sacnilk.
